IMPROVEMENT IN LOOM SHUTTLE-BINDERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 163,67 l, dated May 25,1875 application filed October 7, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AMos MALLORY, of Mystic Bridge, in the county of NewLondon and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Shuttle- Binders; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which willenable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and usethe same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, and to theletters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of' thisspecification.

My invention is intended as an improvement upon the shuttle-binder, forwhich Letters Patent, No. 132,164, were granted to Wm. C. Macomber,October 15, 1872; and it consists in extending the inner end of thelever therein described, and providing said extension with an upwardprojecting lug, whereby the swell ordinarily used may be entirelydispensed with, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In the annexed drawing, Figure 1 is a plan view, and Fig. 2 a frontelevation, of so much of a loom as will illustrate my invention. Fig. 3is an enlarged plan view of the improved lever. i

A represents the shuttle, B the pickerstaft', and E the lathe, of aloom. C is the lever, pivoted to the plate F, which is adjustable uponthe stand D, secured to the lathe, in the same manner as described inthe former patent above referred to. The lever C is constructed at itsouter end with the inclined surface b, and a suitable distance inwardfrom the pivotpoint it is formed with the rounded surface a,substantially as shown and described in the former patent. As thusconstructed it was intended to work in unison with the swell in commonuse, and not to take the place of the swell. In this case I extend theinner end of the lever beyond the rounded surface a, as shown at d, andon this extension is an upward-projecting lug, e, which takes the placeof the old swell, the lever C thus forming a binder-check, relief, andswell, all combined in one piece, whereas in the old case they were intwo separate pieces. The lever C operates in regard to the shuttle inthe same manner as described in the former patent referred to, and bythe extension and lug it operates the protecting-rod h or the finger '6thereon, doing away with the swell.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The lever C having the inclined surface b, and rounded surface a, andits inner end provided with the extension d and lug e, substantially asand for the purposes herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signaturein presence of two witnesses.

AMOS MALLORY.
